Hierarchical porous anatase TiO2 derived from a titanium metal–organic framework as a superior anode material for lithium ion batteries†
Abstract
Hierarchical meso-/macroporous anatase TiO2 was synthesized by the hydrolysis of a titanium metal–organic framework precursor followed by calcination in air. This unique porous feature enables the superior rate capability and excellent cycling stability of anatase TiO2 as an anode for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
